An infographic accompanied the tweet with the additional claim “You know what protects your ears better than a silencer? Ear plugs.”
For an organization with “Responsible” in its name, ARS clearly has no concern over responsible reporting of “facts.” For starters, firearm suppressors without question protect the hearing of shooters and hunters. You don’t have to take our word for it; according to the Center for Disease Control (who isn’t known for being particularly friendly to firearm owners) “The only potentially effective noise control method to reduce students’ or instructors’ noise exposure from gunfire is through the use of noise suppressors that can be attached to the end of the gun barrel.” |

It's a shame when the CDC says it right and the NRA says it wrong on a firearms issue. CDC: “The only potentially effective noise control method to reduce students’ or instructors’ noise exposure from gunfire is through the use of noise suppressors that can be attached to the end of the gun barrel.” Notice they say "noise suppressors". NRA: "For starters, firearm suppressors without question protect the hearing of shooters and hunters." But "firearm suppressors" are politicians and their mostly democrat running dogs on the left. Careless use of our language has its consequences. It doesn't take that much extra effort to get it right. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
